where
Oceanview Restaurant is on the edge of Golden Gate Park?”

    Candace was shocked by Charlie’s suggestion.
She had been shocked ever since she and Charlie had hung up that
morning.
    When she had boldly called him, she was
completely sure she was going to have no problem rolling with
whatever Charlie was going to throw at her. She couldn’t suppress a
shiver of delight as she imagined him using a dildo, or something
even more creative, on her during this lesson.
    She couldn’t help the flicker of
disappointment when it didn’t look like that was going to happen.
There was no way he could ply her with a dildo in a restaurant, was
there?
    Besides, wasn’t learning about having sex in
new locations lesson four, not lesson three?
    She checked her makeup and outfit one last
time before stepping out of the car. The previous Saturday at his
house, he had seen her under forgiving candlelight and fire glow.
As the sun hadn’t set yet and he was going to see her in full
daylight, she wanted him to think she was pretty.
    She had dressed a little more risqué tonight
than she usually would have for a date. She shook her head. This
is not a date , she reminded herself again. He was her mentor
and she was his apprentice.
    If she read anything more into it than
professional education, she was going to end up with a broken
heart. Candace figured she already had enough of those as it
was.
    Nonetheless, she had dug out a gold-sequined
tank top from the bottom drawer of her dresser and paired it with a
flirty black skirt, which brushed the tops of her kneecaps when she
walked. She had swept her ginger curls up onto the top of her head
with a gold clip and wore small gold-hoop earrings on her lobes.
The final touch to her outfit was a pair of frivolous spike-heeled
black and gold sandals that she had never had the nerve to wear
before.
    She left the parking lot and walked up the
pathway to the beach. Charlie was waiting for her on the steps to
the sand, looking out to the Pacific Ocean. She noticed he had a
plastic shopping bag in his hand and shivered, wondering what was
inside of it.
    She put her hand on his arm and he turned
around to face her with a huge smile on his gorgeous face.
    “Candy,” he said, “You look amazing.”
    She blushed. “Thank you. So do you.”
    He looked better than ever, which was really
quite a feat considering how incredible he had looked the two other
times she had been with him. He had dressed up slightly, wearing
navy blue light-wool slacks and a pink pin-striped long-sleeved
Ralph Lauren shirt.
    He slipped her hand into his and was moving
towards the front door of the restaurant. She pulled back slightly,
saying “I’m curious about what you’ve got in the plastic bag.”
    Charlie turned and smiled at her. “I was
going to wait to give it to you until we went inside, but now’s as
good a time as any, I suppose.” He opened the bag so that she could
look into it.
    “A pair of panties?” she said and looked up
at him in confusion.
    He nodded. “I want you to put them on.”
    “Now?”
    “Once we get inside, go to the restroom and
change out of the panties you’re wearing.”
    Candace felt her face turn red. “And then
what?”
    He shrugged. “And then we’ll eat and enjoy
each other’s company.” He handed her the bag, then pulled her back
up the steps towards the restaurant.
    “Let’s go inside. I’m starved,” he said, and
she had no other choice but to follow him.
    Candace wondered how it was possible for her
pussy to already be soaking wet when all she had done was say a few
sentences to the guy. He was turning her into a walking orgasm, for
god’s sake.
    They stepped into the foyer of the beautiful
restaurant and he whispered in her ear, “I think the bathroom is
just down the hall to the left.”
    A shiver ran down her spine – not fear, but
anticipation - as his breath stroked her cheek and she obediently
headed off to the ladies room, plastic bag in
